Why My Wife Is Better than Your Wife

Published 6/20/04

Here in Columbus, a woman with two kids was pregnant with a third. Nine months pregnant, in fact, and on bed rest.

She was in the shower when a faulty electrical system started a fire. She was barely able to get out with her life and her children’s lives. She lost everything else.

She had the baby a few days later — a five-pound boy. But she’s staying with relatives since she lost her home.

Karen had a lot of Sam’s old baby stuff. He’s outgrown it, but he was a very small baby. So she contacted the Dispatch, got the woman’s address, and wrote to her asking if she’d be able to use any of Sam’s stuff.

The woman called back and said Yes.

So Karen took her some stuff.

The woman was probably expecting a few baby clothes. But Karen surprised her: She brought a whole car full (literally) — boxes and boxes and bags and bags of clothes and toys, all washed and in great shape.

And that’s why my wife is better than yours. :)
